Updated information
According to the Ministry of Energy, due to the difficult situation in the power system, emergency power cuts have been implemented in Kyiv and part of the Kyiv region.
"The reasons for the restrictions are a rocket and drone attack on energy facilities, severe frost and the effects of bad weather in the Kyiv region. The previously published power cut schedules in Kyiv and the region are currently not in effect. Energy workers are working around the clock to restore a stable power supply as quickly as possible. Emergency power cuts will be cancelled as soon as the situation in the power system stabilises.
We ask for your understanding and help for energy workers by conserving the electricity that is currently available on the grid. Restoration work is ongoing 24/7," the statement said.
